A business journalist scheduled to become president of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers in 2014 has stepped back from that role, while the organization’s board named a Bloomberg News editor to its executive ranks.
Beth Hunt, manager of editorial operations for American City Business Journals, had been slated to be vice president for the organization, meaning she would have become president in 2014. She is now holding a non-ladder position on its executive committee, according to a post on the SABEW site.
Hunt was actually slated to be the current president, but she had earlier swapped places with Kevin Hall, the national economics correspondent for McClatchy newspapers, who is now the president.
The new vice president is Marty Wolk of MSN Money. Independent journalist David Milstead moves into the treasurer role.
Joanna Ossinger, a team leader on Bloomberg First Word, joins the executive ladder as secretary, meaning she is scheduled to become president in 2016.
Ossinger has been serving as a non-ladder member of the organization’s executive committee and has helped plan SABEW’s annual fall and spring conferences. She has helped coordinate the Best in Business competition.
